Apprenticeship Signing Day at De Pere High School with Miron Construction
On Friday, Jan. 24, Miron Construction Co., Inc. hosted a signing day at De Pere High School celebrating one of its apprentices.
Ray Fitzl will graduate from De Pere High School later this month and is signing on as a masonry apprentice. Ray is currently working at the Preble High School project and has previously worked on the Denmark Elementary School addition and renovations.
Ray is now building his own legacies within the trades as a young masonry apprentice. Students like Ray continue to choose the trades for the importance of the work they provide for all of society, for the rewarding profession it offers, and for the opportunity to learn and build a career.
Career Signing Day is a time for high school and college graduates to officially begin employment with a construction contractor who will sponsor them throughout their carpenter apprenticeship and provide on-the-job training. This celebration honors both graduate and contractor, providing a pivotal moment in the life of a student.
The construction industry had 276,000 job openings throughout the U.S. in Nov. 2024, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Youth and union apprentices not only gain meaningful work experience that sets them up for success in the future, but they also add to the talent pipeline of skilled, diverse employees that innovate the workforce.
